pubic hair - a question

[Mousie]

what do men like generally. do they care? I have tried most things including a Hollywood last year as a special treat for him... and now am bored and a bit tired of ingrowing hairs. Do men notice what is down there, quantity? whether it is trimmed or not, etc.. Obviously stray pubes outside bikini line not nice, I get that. my dh is very reticent about what he actually likes - I think he is scared of making any comments on my appearance in case I cry or shout! quite right. anyway, I wanted to canvas this one.

Surely the desirability (to men and women) of a particular look of pubic hair (totally au naturel, bikini-waxed, trimmed, all off etc etc) is also dependent on the look of the woman in question?

It would be rather odd to wax your pubic hair if you didn't do any other form of body grooming and, conversely, rather odd to be totally bushy and au naturel if the rest of you was highly maintained.

Yes, I agree it would be odd.

Goodness knows what my 'look' says

All waxed off is a turn-off. I don't want my DW to look like a girl. Creepy.

The same goes for the landing strip.

Neatly trimmed is best. It is basically a beard, after all.

My father, a doctor, tells me that it is common for Indian men to be bald down below.

ROFL at it is basically a beard after all.
Grateful for a man who doesn't like it all off too!

There is a distinct lack of male answers on this thread.

That's because we don't really care.

OK, personal preference is for trimmed but natural shape. Second place to landing strip. Last place to all shaved/waxed off -that just looks weird.

But hey, they're your bits, do want you want with them.

Trim is nice, it shows you care about how you look and feel to your partner. You might spend £60 having your hair done so you feel good what is wrong with having the rest done?
When I had the snip DW said she prefers me trim and to be honest I do to. Having shaved balls feels good during sex though not keen on DW shaving.
Each to their own.

TMI alert - I can't have a brazilian as I have a bald patch just at that place. My lady garden looks like bobby charlton

I would not want my DH to wax his bits as it may look like the last turkey in the shop

Good answer DaDaDa, wise as the Wife of Bath's Tale .

would rather it's off for me, but it's not that important. A hairy fanje wont stop me loving my DW.

DW sometimes takes it all off of her own accord. And very nice it is, too - a change can be a proper turn-on. But much as I like it sometimes, I'm not so concerned as to wish her to do it on my account. And when it's growing back stubbly it's awfully chafing for me, as well as itchy for her ...

LOL at all the women on here giving their tuppence worth.

PLEASE say the hairier the better. I hate all that pubic depilatory malarkey

Janni, I'm already on record with this: big hairy muff like a bicycle seat. Nothing like it.

Trimming and shaving and mincing about with plaits and beads and mousse and curlers is just weird and wrong and kiddie-porny.

Men who ask their partners to do this are clearly spending too much time looking at the top shelf in the motorway services and not enough time paying for petrol if you get my drift.

I'm with Furball and the trimmers, have tried all sorts of hair-removal techniques over the years and have never managed to get rid of the ingrown hairs, I think I'm just destined to always have them. Even with body brushing every day and no waxing or shaving for almost a year I still have tons

Thanks, Barcode.

What a great thing to be 'on the record' for. I hope you get invited to all major media discussions on this topic .

i like a thin layer of pubes myself. Hairy bushes are harsh as there is always one of the little b@stards that unleashes itself and makes a forward march to your tonsils and sits there and you can try everything to get it out but it wont budge

Yes, pubes in the mouth aren't too pleasant but I still prefer it natural. Speaking as woman of course .

Yuk, hairy blokes really turn me off. I think a lot of it is cultural - I am of Latin American extraction. People with a lot of Native American blood don't tend to have a lot of body hair.

Unfortunately, I inherited hairy genes from my mother's side. I'm a yetti.

Immac doesn't even remove my hair!

I wax. A lot.

If I could afford it, I'd have most of my body IPLd if it took years.

I just don't like the yetti look on me, OR a partner.

I just don't fancy it and never have.

Hairy chests, pubic hair up to their stomachs, hairy backs and bums = YUK.

Well Op if you are still about....all this thread proves I think is that it is a matter of personal taste .

Well I don't expect or want men to be hairless down below (actually puts me off) and I don't do it myself. I do trim, but as I have VERY sensitive skin I cannot get waxed, so I am afraid all male hair-phobes would need to avoid me!!

i say get rid of it all if ur in a relationship... there is nothing worse than a guy going down south and spending the whole time gagging on hairs. May look a little creepy i agree but on a more practicle not it makes things a little less complicated. Saying that im not in a relationship atm so the garden of eden is well and truely blooming!!!
My ex used to shave his balls... i found it a bit odd... I didnt request it and it made me wonder if someone else was... or perhaps it made him feel like a porn star who knows... he always did have a rediculously sized ego!

I recently got my body out in front of a guy ide liked for ages...however, as I wasnt expecting it...my bush was a little more bushy than i would have liked....do you think this would have put him off coming back for more...???

I think the whole delapidatory (sp) thing is really iffy. I am not a little girl, and I don't want to look like one. On the few occasions that I have shaved/Immaced it has been a hassle to do, made the whole area very uncomfortable and sticky and then always resulted in ingrown hairs. I do trim the bits that stick out of my swim suit when I am swimming, but that's because I think on their own they don't look great (if I swam in the nude I wouldn't). I hate the anti under-arm hair thing. Why should I feel that I am socially unacceptable with hair? I mean what is actually wrong with it? I don't see all the guy's feeling they have to slap on the wax

As for sex if you both do it, then fair enough, but otherwise I think it is chauvanist if your partner requires it to be honest. I would dump the partner - what other part of you will have to be changed...

I couldn't give a toss what men think. I shaved the lot for my ex h, my god the pimples and re growth was bloody awful. I aint touched it since.
